Election: It's the Cat People vs. the Dog Lovers Written by Burt Prelutsky Sunday, August 15, 2004
All the pundits who are forecasting the November election, busily analyzing blue states, red states, and those all-important purple swing states, are spinning their wheels. At the risk of sounding even more presumptuous than usual, I contend that they are wasting their time and yours. If you want to know who's going to emerge victorious, all you really need to do is find out how many people have cats living with them and how many have dogs. The cat people, I have decided, will go overwhelmingly for Kerry; the dog lovers will do the same for Bush. It isn't simply that women, who often prefer felines to canines, tend to vote Democratic. It really goes to the nature of the animals........

I am a conservative cat owner. I suspect the division is about 50-50 as it would be for say, chevy vs ford owners...

Where do the Hamster lovers factor in?
To: GaretGarrett
It seems to make sense but get ready to hear otherwise from a lot of Bush-voting cat lovers out here in Freeperland!
BTW, my wife and I own a cat but we are not particularly attached to it. We procured it for the purposes of keeping rodents out of the house. The cat performs a service for us and in exchange, we provide it with food, shelter and a clean litter box.
And that's a pretty good deal for me, except when the cat takes to scratching up the furniture. Fortunately the cat's propensity for scratching our furniture seems to decrease with age yet it's zeal for catching rodents remains undiminished.

John Kerry: I love hamsters more than my own wrinkled, leathery hide. Oh yeah.
(In a self-aggrandizing move, Kerry provides mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a perfectly healthy hamster.)

Gerbil lovers are democrats...most definitely.

Add 2 more Bush votes from a cat household here.
We like dogs too, but dont have one.
To: GaretGarrett
I have always prefered CATS! and I was in the USMC for 12 years and I vote CONSERVATIVE!
So much for generalizations.
Like Marines and true conservatives, Cats are independent animals who do NOT need help to survive.
Dogs, like socialists cannot be left alone and require YOU to feed and take care of them.

I heard that counselor is still in counseling. Kerry offered big $$$ to silence him, of course he borrowed the money from his wife.
To: GaretGarrett
Cats are finicky. Which is just a Madison Avenue euphemism for being snooty, snobbish, and stand-offish. Dogs are honest, friendly, and loyal..... Cats speak French..... Dogs speak English Just about says it all. Never owned a cat, never will.

What about the Coke vs. Pepsi people? The diet vs. regular cola people? The decaf vs. non-decaf people? The Winston vs. Marlboro people? The menthol vs. regular people? The Ford vs. Chevy people? The astro-turf vs. real turf people? The Levis vs. Wrangler people? The vinegar based vs. tomato based barbecue people? The PC vs. Mac people? The Windows vs. Linux people? The aunt (ant) vs. aunt (ont) people? And don't get me started on the Nascar rivalries.

Ours is a dog/cat household. Everybody's voting for Bush or they're not eating.
